I drink alcohol occasionally, and I have these symptoms. White tongue is an example. I scrap my tongue every day, but that white colour is not just a residue on the top, it is deeper. It usually takes a few days of not touching alcohol to disappear so the tongue get its pink healthy colour. I wonder if this relates to liver? Same with the swollen eyelids. Can anyone explain to me the physiological reasons for the occurrence of these things? I am in planning to stop drinking, but I am still interested why this happens.
